President, I'll be d d if this ain't a figure beyant me: for a parcel of scoundrels d d blacklegs, sir! to threaten a senator in this Legislature with 'sassination, for doin' the will of his constituents." "The chair would remind the senator that there is no question or motion before the Senate." "Thar ain't? Well, that's another wrinkle.
And so I reckoned he was gone off somers to have a little peace, and would come back to us when his troubles was kind of healed. But late Saturday night, the 9th, Lem Beebe and Jim Lane come to my house and told me all told me the whole awful 'sassination, and my heart was broke.
But I'll jest tell you as a friend, that if you go resurrectin' any moh of them man slaughters I don't care if they're older'n the 'sassination of Garfield I'll hang you for bein' a plain damn fool." With this he uttered a loud guffaw, but once more grew sober and laid his hand on Dale's shoulder: "Don't you go killin' no moh fellers 'round heah! I do mean that!
"Another thing I remember as a boy was de 'sassination of President Gyarfield. I can't read or write but very little, but I remember about dat. It was a dull, foggy mornin', and I was crossin' de bayou with Big Bob Smith. It was about 1881 wasn't it? "I think times was better in de old days because people was better. Had a heap more honor in de old days dan dey have now.
Well, sir, I'm in only tolerable order, but I want my question answered I want to know if I'm to be threatened with 'sassination by the hell-fired gamblers, and then laughed at by senators for bringing it before the Senate, and insulted by you, sir, by calling me to order for demanding my rights, and the rights of my constituents, here, from this Senate?
